The rain finally let up and this has been a wonderful week. First things first we met together as sisters in the Zone and had a Fall Festival! Pumpkin carving and caramel apples. I may have gotten a little carried away. You can take the girl out of Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, but you can't take the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory out of the girl!

 

 

 

 

We also had the chance to go out with our sister training leader, sister Kunzler, and enjoy a picnic, olive garden, 4 lessons, and talking to over 20 people all in one day! Miracles happen in trios.

And now for my favorite thing I have learned.

This life is the life to minister. Ministering means lifting people where they stand. If they are Telestial bring them to the Terrestrial plane. If Terrestrial, to the Celestial. If they are Celestial, stretch them and help them grow higher and higher. In the description of Christ, "Go about doing good."

Well, on one day all of our appointments had fallen through and we were a little discouraged. We also had few miles left that day to use. And so when we saw a lady raking her yard, we got to work! We were raking alongside her two little boys and Hermana Limb raked up a huge pile and indicated to one of them that they should jump in the pile. He looked at her like she was crazy. So to demonstrate, she jumped in, and then I jumped in, and then we were having a little leaf fight. That was fun enough but then we finished up the lady's yard and were about to go on our way. 

 

 

Then, a little girl that lives in the area (apparently having heard from the boys what magic is contained in dead leaves) asked us, eyes wide, "Will you make me a leaf pile?" Well, the yard was done and the leaves burned, so we turn to the next door neighbors and ask if we can rake their yard! Of course we can! So we get the biggest pile we can and spend 20 minutes having a leaf fight with these little kids. It was absolutely magical and the parents were laughing and the mom's heart was softened so much. 

Go and do good. It's a lot of fun.

Con Amor,

Hermana Fletcher
